I have reached that point where there is so many things I’m waiting for to be released, I’m about to explode. CDs and movies all seem to build up and release at the same time, that time being not right fucking now. Not much else I can say on this without just diving straight into what I’m waiting with baited breath for, so without further…a do? Anyway here are a few of them:
I’ve been a fan of Green Day for, not very long. I was first introduced to them when I heard American Idiot, and was sold. I now have several of their albums, ranging from Nimrod to American Idiot. Despite not listening to them for awhile, they were what brought me out of listening to nothing but rap, and into the rock scene. So they hold a pretty special place in my music history. Their new album, apparently called 21st Century Breakdown, is their first complete record as Green Day since 2004 (They released an album under the name Foxboro Hot Tubs last year), and comes out on the 15th of this month. From what I’ve heard of the first single Know Your Enemy, it sounds like it should be a good cd, and I’ll be buying it shortly after it comes out.
I’ve already detailed what I think and expect of this album, but I’m anticipating it as well, so it gets a mention. The High End Of Low by Marilyn Manson comes out this month as well, and as long as it’s better than Eat Me Drink Me, I’ll be content. I’ve heard what is being labelled as the ‘album version’ of Arma-Goddam-Motherfuckin’-Geddon, and it sounds much more polished than the demo I heard when I wrote the original post on this, so maybe I’ll be surprised. Then again, maybe not.
The best news all year though, was the news that Blink182 had reunited and are going to release a new album, AND go on tour. I’d become a fan just after they broke up, and thought I’d never got the change to see them live unless I put on a Plus44 and Angels and Airwaves DVD on at the same time. Well, my prayers were, or at least ARE going to be answered. Might be a year or two before an album comes out, but the moment dates are named for the tour, I AM SO THERE. I hold major expectations that now Tom is back in the band he belongs in, that he will not pump out any more crap like he did with Angels and Airwaves. That stuff was crap as.
Now onto a movie I’ve been waiting for. S. Darko is the sequel to the classic starring Jake Gyllenhaal. S. Darko of course features nothing of the man, since he died in the first one after all, and instead focuses on his character’s youngest sister as she attempts to go on a roadtrip, and sees the same man in a bunny suit that he saw. Weird, but I want to see it to see how they could make a sequel of it, and if it’ll be any good…it probably won’t. One can only hope though.
So that’s the main things that come to mind; sure there’s things like the next Resident Evil, but yeah. What are you guys anticipating?
